Neuhaus

Neuhaus is a prominent Belgian chocolate company founded in Brussels in 1857. Operating as a large-scale producer rather than a small-batch artisan, the company maintains a significant place in chocolate history as the originator of the Belgian praline, a creation introduced in 1912.

The brand focuses on traditional Belgian confectionery styles. Production is centralized in Belgium, where Maîtres Chocolatiers oversee the preparation of finished goods. The house philosophy emphasizes the use of natural ingredients, specifically excluding palm oil from their formulations.

Sourcing and production standards at Neuhaus integrate ethical considerations, including claims of direct trade and adherence to sustainability certifications like Fairtrade or Rainforest Alliance. These practices reflect the company approach to managing their supply chain for cocoa.
